This chapter explores the idea of community of practice in relation to Swedish educational development. Two authentic cases illustrate how faculty developers work together as a CoP to promote change within universities. The two cases and their results are scrutinized in relation to key features of CoP, where one case arguably came out stronger as a CoP mainly in terms of identity building. The tex
This paper takes its starting point in the question of how damages for violation through crime are determined by the law. Damages for violation is a type of non-pecuniary damage and the non-pecuniary damages to crime victims is the dominating type of these damages in Swedish tort law. Yet there is a fundamental uncertainty about the computation of damages and what is really meant by "violation" in
A charge sampling mixer with embedded and programmable filter function is described, which is not based on the conventional sub-sampling but the proposed bandpass charge sampling (BPCS) principle. A BPCS circuit samples a radio signal by integrating the weighted current of the clocked radio signal in n clock cycles. The large sampling capacitor used in the circuit results in low noise and low char
The base of the world economic pyramid, generally called the base of the pyramid (BoP), consists of four billion people with average daily income of four dollars. Over the past several years, the design and development of products and services for BoP markets has been investigated by several authors from different disciplines. While some authors suggest a systems approach to design and develop pro
The CSF levels of somatostatin-LI (SLI), neuropeptide Y (NPY-LI) and Delta Sleep Inducing Peptide (DSIP-LI) have been measured in patients with dementia of Alzheimer type (DAT) and dementia with frontotemporal degeneration of non-Alzheimer type (FTD). The distribution pattern of cortical degeneration differs between these two types of dementia. DAT shows degeneration of mainly temporo-parietal and
Peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) has been in clinical use for 15 years to treat metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. PRRT is limited by reabsorption and retention of the administered radiolabeled somatostatin analogues in the proximal tubule. Consequently, it is essential to develop and employ methods to protect the kidneys during PRRT. Today, infusion of positively charged amino acids is
A defect in proprioception has been found in selected patient groups that have an anterior cruciate ligament deficient knee at different times after the original injury. The time of development and the extent of such defects were studied longitudinally on 16 consecutive patients. During the first year after a primary knee injury, which included a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament,
